This is from my
deadjournal. I may be wrong in this, but I can't remember any other bands that made the style popular and big... and that style is quite obvious today. I know that there have been a few other groups that did Rap, but the music wasn't the normal 'Rap Style' but I can't think of a group where they had Rock music.. some singing, and then some Rap as well.
---------------------------------------------
Why is it that people will go through their music and when they get to this group they say, "I WAS YOUNG..." and pawn it off as a sorry excuse for a group that they should never have bought?
I mean.. I honestly don't get this... Limp Bizkit was one of THEE first bands to do the Rock/Rap twist... heck they might have created this twist. If we look at most popular Alternative/Rock groups out there right now... How many of them aren't Rap/Rock? (Rock/Rap - the front is the one that there is more of.. mainly though its Rock music and Rapping..) There are a TON of bands that use this style, and yet it was done originally by Limp Bizkit. Shouldn't people point to this group and thank them for what they had achieved? They broke-through into a new genre of music. Why poke fun at them, when they are the basis for the music for most of the people that make fun of them?
